Used 2006 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
Poor Mileage
Love the way the vehicle drives. The gas mileage is bad. We can't get the mileage it says it's supposed to.
06 Impala lt
The is 2 yrs old, bought brand new off the show room floor. We have had it in for repair for steering, stereo stopped working, rear defroster, remote starter, gass leaks, oil leaks, and the car gets bad mpg. The factory rotors only lasted 1.5yrs before warping. Oh... And the struts need replaced.
Needs just a little work...
I bought my impala with 40,000 mile on it and I have not had much trouble out of it. I have had the water pump go bad, that has been replaced under extended warrenty. However, the tire sensor is broken and the temperature sensor is broken as well. My husband is 6'5" and he fits comfortably in the car with me. We have been in an accident where some one hit us in the back with a Ford F150 and it did more damage to him than to us. It it a safe car. My next vehicle will not be a car but if it was I would get another used impala. (no point in getting a new car, they depreciate so quickly). If dealers stand behind their product a slightly used car is just as good if not better (lower payments).
My 2nd Impala SS
Just purchased an '06 SS Impala Blk on Blk. It's maiden trip was to upstate New Hampshire from Western Mass 5hrs each way. Previously owned a 96 SS. The power is outstanding but the front drive limits the ability to take advantage of the power. The plastic on the doors and dash is similar to my fiance's 01 Cavalier, in a word, it's cheep. Suspension is more like a Buick than my last SS. I did not feel comfortable on VT's RT 91 above 85mph due to curves. Heated leather seats are adequate, could use a bit more bolstering, but they are fine for me. Get the Bose stereo, I didn't and I regret it. No way the engine gets 28/18 hwy/city mileage, more like 22/13.
I like it
This is my first Impala. I drive over 45,000 miles per year . I wanted better gas mileage over my previous vehicle. I don't quite know if this is the vehicle either . But I'm really impressed with everything else , the ride, power, interior . I have the black SS with completly tinted windows WOW. At 3500 miles I believe I can honestly say I get 24mpg on the highway and 18 in town . At this point I'm glad I made this purchase.
